Honey Mustard Recipe [just 5 ingredients]

This EASY homemade Honey Mustard recipe has just 5 ingredients to create the perfect smooth and creamy dipping sauce for chicken, fries, veggies and much more!

If my family and I are having chicken tenders or fries, you can bet that I am reaching for the honey mustard.

I always love a good mustard, but the combination of sweet honey, dijon mustard and a little creamy mayo is a classic for a reason — it’s delicious!!

Honey mustard is very versatile and pairs with so many different things. From proteins, to veggies and even as a salad dressing.

Read on to find all the different uses and the recipe for my favorite homemade honey mustard recipe! 

Honey Mustard Recipe Ingredients 

• dijon mustard
• honey
• mayonaise
• lemon juice (or white vinegar)
• cayenne pepper — just a pinch!!

You more than likely have all the ingredients for this homemade honey mustard sitting in the kitchen! 

Some people use a combination of regular mustard and dijon mustard. You absolutely can if you prefer it that way.

However, I find full dijon mustard provides the best flavor and creates a superior flavored dip. 

How far ahead can I make Honey Mustard sauce?

Weeks! The great part about this homemade Honey Mustard sauce is that it will last for weeks in the refrigerator. 

To be completely safe, I should say you should only keep it two weeks in your refrigerator. 

However, I usually check my expiration dates on my ingredients and if they are far in the future, I feel comfortable keeping my honey mustard for up to a month. 

Just make sure you use a clean jar, with a lid, and that you keep it refrigerated!

How to Serve Honey Mustard Sauce

You can use Honey Mustard in so many delicious ways. My favorite is as a dipping sauce for my bisquick sausage balls recipe (as seen above!) or chicken — particularly my favorite crispy Dill Pickle Chicken. 

1. a dip chicken nuggets, tenders and fries
2. spread inside sandwiches or wraps
3. a dip for fresh vegetables
4. as a dressing for salads (just add a little extra vinegar to thin it out!)
5. a marinade/glaze for grilled or roasted chicken or pork 

If you love honey mustard, just wait until you try this homemade version with easy ingredients you probably already have on hand.

This sauce is deliciously creamy and all you have to do is whisk the ingredients together. You will never buy store bought again!
